Tennessee. Cameron Sutton. 27. player. 87. . CB

Now that Josh Norman is gone, the Carolina Panthers desperately need a new No. 1 cornerback. It’s only been a few weeks but it’s become abundantly clear that Bene’ Benwikere and James Bradberry aren’t going to be that guy.

Before going down with a serious ankle injury, Tennessee’s Cameron Sutton was one of the most impressive prospect I had watched this season. He has an ideal frame for a shutdown corner at 6’1” and 181 pounds while possessing the recovery speed and aggressiveness to prevent big plays.

Of course, Sutton’s draft stock will depend heavily on whether or not he can return and play at a high level this season. However, judging from what we had seen earlier this season, Sutton looks like a genuine first-round prospect.
